and the phone calls kept pouring for the whole day. This would be the story of each student in the campus.

Laloo is such a phenomenon for media. His rustic image and his funny comments are despised by the so called elite and celebrated by others at the same moment. Whatever u say .. u just cant ignore this guy.Now, he is the Railway Minister and under him the ailing Railways have seen a turnaround in its financial fortunes. There is a case study under Prof. Raghuram on this turnaround. Laluji was called on to share his experience in managing Railways.

I had my classes and only 50 students were allowed into the class room for a healthy discussion to take place(selection: on 1st come 1st basis.) I had missed out on that. Adding to this, there was a 120 page case to be read and presented b4 the faculty and then faculty selected 4 ppts for the D day (too much pain tha yaar!!!!).

The usual story u can listen from all the places I will give some inside the class insights.

In the class room :(The gal in there is Sachi.. and (in the right pic) there is Ashok(aka chhui mui) and Manish (aka BoBs i call him Boobs).

Lalooji was flanked by two of his Railway officers, who were to deal with technical aspects.

There were too many ppl in the class room. Prof. asked some of them to leave. When they didn't buzz. Prof. asked Lalooji "if they are among the ones who were included in the list to attend".

Laloo: aye!! chalo jao .. bola na. baad mein baat kar lena (hey! go.. i said go. get in touch later.)some of them were top rung officials in Railways.

discussion continued, presentation, technical stuff on how the unit cost has decreased, is this a turnaround and stuff.

Most intriguing part : Prof. Raghuram's Hindi and Lalooji's interpretation of Raghuram's English.

lmao. Prof. Raghuram ain't proficient in Hindi and Laloo ji is not the most adept in English speaking.

I must say, Jay, I could just figure out at least 2% of the jokes about Laloo and the student interpreter:-). But apparently your closet cronies did, so that's ok. Seems you admire the ol' man (mushy, mushy!)...

Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to help with Search Engine Optimization? I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very good success. If you know of any please share.Thank you!

I changed my layout.. finally. Ppl kept pressing me to change it ..I don't really love too many template changes. I used to have a myspace account and i had a green profile that stayed there for like forever.

I had a few difficulties in fixing this profile but finally was able to do. I will keep bringing some modifications.

Funny thing (soos, eltu, John) is ppl said they have been commenting on my posts..wtf !! and i cudnt see anything .. I figured i clicked comment moderation and didnt put any email address.. so all the comments posted by them were sent to me for approval but i never received any. But now i have fixed that.

Meanwhile, i checked out Christopher's Blog. The layout is not a blogger's delight but the enthusiasm of being in India is inescapable. His interest in photography, soccer and making friends is so evident on his page.

Last nite at 2:00 am, I took a break from watching "Pirates of the Caribbean" and strolled around the floor.. saw Christopher's door open.. he was making movies from those numerous pics he has collected during his journey. He said: " that's for my family and friends".

The new template is very nice and clean.The lightning pic was awesome and this blog has every reason to be voted blog of the year and guess who's gonna give away the award to you? His excellency Laloo Prasad Yadav :))

I bet Laloo's blog would be called Chaara Ghotaala Train main daala :p

And man,you really saved my blog today.I did the same comment moderation thing and didn't enter an email ID.btw I guess I'm gonna use both the blogs now.Blogger and Wordpress so now you'll have all the more commenting to do and yea Fix you isn't gay :p

New term has begun after a 10 days break. Thankfully during the registration we didn't have to bring in as many books as it used to be b4.

This term is said to be the coolest term .. in the sense that lot of activities other than academics is involved and Academic load is less.this is also the term wherein we get a chance to go for exchange (overseas) and exchange students come in our college.

Most students come to our college from France[15], Italy[6] and Scandinavia[6]. Some expat Indians take this opportunity to get back to their homeland.to maintain the legacy this year also one Italian and one French guy has been alotted to our Dorm.

Last year Tomosso[Italian] and Clement [Italian] let us njoy thier pinching comments on each others' nation about Soccer [big rivalry] and lifestyle during our Dorm get-togethers.

This time Christopher [French] has joined us in my floor , in Rubby's room (Rubby is off to NUS,Singapore in exchange and i m njoying his cooler).

Had a brief chat with Christopher , he seems a bubbly guy .. typical interest in footer and said " hey i have come to learn English here so lets talk". he he

In the Persuasive Communication class I had a brush with other Exchange students TOM, Amelie and Sara.

Goona start a new blog on this class.. Its fun being out there.

Hey! goota go, TEACHERS DAY CELEBRATIONS are starting in the Auditorium.So, lets say a good beginning to the new term .. helps me forget some of the setbacks i suffered in last couple of months.

Business communication classes has been strange.We have to put a poster on the walls, where someone else would comment on it. Everyday, I am hit on with some nasty realty.

On last wed. I had a business presentation. The topic could have been any random topic.I was to be marked on my presentation skills and how can I improve my skills.

I slept till 5 am in the morning and I had like 3 hrs left to think of an idea and prepare practice dress and go to get the screw.

Lol and i ended up in the tennis room discussing .. "how croatians make the best gay"(random don't even think bout it.. bad for health). but yeah meanwhile I struck upon the idea of making a business presentation on blogging. and i did.... i wanted to put my blog in a slide as demo... however, it was this time that it had to happen (Murphy's law: if something can go wrong it will).... DoT Tricks were at it again .. Blogger blocked.

Thankfully, I was talking to one of the meanest assholes in the world... John otherwise known as tennis_balla_shot_calla."

So, i inserted the screenshot into the presentation and ran to the class.

Only later did i realize that .. what is the setting .. for such a presentation. I cooked up something like this:

Setting: I am part of the HR team in a software organization which wants to bring in corporate blogging in its cyberculture and in future is looking to horizontally integrate into e-business.

Presentation: basics, types of blogs, key factors and issues, basic structure of blog , and a business model/corporate blogging.

Various Comments: Clever idea. One should not have his tie poking out from the coat, below. Good answer on privacy issue. Prolly if u stand upright it will help.

Nick Leeson ..looks a normal guy who has the wonderful capability to charm the people surrounding him. He is a manager of a Football team, a job he has earned with so much effort.Apart from that he has a book and a royalty from a movie made on that book.Most likely u willl find this guy delivery what is a "post dinner talk" where he explainshow he duped an age old bank to be sold for 1 pound.Flshback ...Early 90s....Nick was an ambitious young man when he moved from Morgan Stanley to Barings Bank ( the oldest merchant bank from England). The oldest bank had a laid back organisational structure. So, they were overly excited to bring back the glory days when Nick Leeson newly moved into thier futures business(Singapore) and showed profits.. But thier faith was toyed with:-

Nick would ask for money from the London office which was passed to him without proper investigation.Nick would say he needed the money for Clients to pay thier margin money to the exchange.He would buy futures on his own (with that money) and hide the losses in a secret account 8888. The auditors cud never detect that there existed such an account which had so much money leaked into it. Nick screwed the software/computer network so that the account was undetected. He would gamble with company's money. Once, he gambled heavily and pulled it off wiping all the previous losses. Then due to a natural calamity the market started to go southwards.. everyone was loosing money. Nick again decided to go against the tide and gamble by buying more futures... this time he asked for more than 800 million pounds. To his own surprise he managed to get it. Howver, he was unable to pull this gamble .. he figured heavy losses which he again hid in the secret account. Stress on him was increasing .. and often he would seek support from his wife, who was too happy with the amount of money that Nick would bring home.And then he left some note and vanished ... the bell was rung by himself... but prolly it was too late .. by the time company found such heavy losses... it cudnt do anythng to bind it. The company was to be sold.Barings had illustrious clientele like sultan of brunie.. but he cudnt be contacted on time... England govt. refused to bail it out.. and Barings was sold to ING for one pound.

Nick was sentanced 6 and half years of prison. He was let go aftr 4 yrs cause of good beahviour. He wrote a book "Rouge Trader" for which he recieved heaps of money and then it was made into a movie Nick again recieved a fortune as royalty. He is now a manager of a football club, A job he earned with hard effort cause of his credibilty issues in various attempts.

He delivers a lectures and shows and is interviewed as to HOW HE PULLED IT OFF.His wife divorced him to marry another trader ( guess!! she wont miss his money).

Nick's secretary : "Nick was such awesome guy ... dynamic (giggle)... shouting sell ..sell!!!!...... we all wanted to be so famous and popular .. when Nick was caught we were like wow! Mick u made it."

The then CEO :" I donno how he did it. prolly his intentions.. he was too smart..."

Nick :" they were Stupid" (giving him millions wthout enquiring why). "I thought i will be caught in next 2 days.. but it never happened.. and i grew in confidence".

I don have much of patience to finish off books.So, to fuel my reading habits I resort to articles, essays, book reviews, etc and the sources would be newpapers, magazines and web resources.

NDTV has already become a phenomenon by capturing the so called Indian elite.As I dont watch much of TV these days, I visit the site.

It caters with a gamut of interesting categories.. a few days back I was bugged by its' books section. Apart from regular happenings in the literary world.. .. it gives one the opportunity to visit the reading room. There u find the savior of a lazy bum like me .."the book extracts"...the peephole owrth reading.I read some extracts from books .. and I liked three confessions of an economic hit man,The Argumentative Indian and Ideas That Have Worked .Yep .. NDTV presents the right blend of Indian and International literature..Hmmm, as expected non fictions rule the roost.Wish I could really indulge in reading the whole books, the extracts of which hold so much promise (definitely would be betta than watching a superman returns).
